DS currently in Y5 and prep school head has suggested these 2 schools amoung others as possible options for him at 13. We will be arranging visits to all the schools he recommended.
DS bright, sporty, loves all subjects (hisory, science in particular), enjoys art and he is also dyslexic. His ed psych support described him as seriously dyslexic. With right support he is making very good progress. Atrocious spelling, hand writing etc! Slow reading but close to age level I guess. He's fine in mainstream school with right support - currently gets a couple of pull out sessions but no additional support in class and that's fine.
We and Head leave ruled out Epsom College, St John's and Reeds due to pretest. He would be unlikely to do well enough if he sat it Jan 2016, and even if he was ready by 13, feel it would be better for him not to be potentially struggling at bottom of cohort for his whole school career. That type of school is the kind he would enjoy though - so looking for similar school with a broader intake.
Welcome any comments on Box Hill and Royal Russell.
Also Does anyone know if RR has Sat school?
TIA
